[ Thierry Rochebois ] has been asked to write an article on Theremin's for the French magazine "Keyboards", to be published in March, along
with an interview with Jean Michel Jarre who speaks about the Theremin. Thierry is hoping TECI members can send him a picture of a "Cool and Modern Theremin" as well as an "antique model" to be published with his paper. Whoever provides him with the photo's will be cited in the article.
If you have any you might want to send, please be expeditious as he only has a month before he has to get it in. Please email him for details.

Rosalyn Tureck, the world famous Bach pianist and former student of Leon Theremin, gave a Theremin recital at Carnegie Hall in 1932. Read about her first hand account of her time with Theremin at [ Rosalyn Tureck, the Theremin and Electronic Piano ]

[ Peter Pringle ] advises TECI that he has been asked by CBC Radio Canada to demonstrate the Theremin on a program called FAITES VOS GAMMES. This is a weekly show hosted by the classical violinist Angele Dubeau (wife of the owner and president of Analecta Records). Since it will be shown nationally, he'll let TECI know when it will be aired. They will likely tape sometime before Christmas, so the air date may be sometime early in the new year. Peter has asked the Spanish composer Jose Evangelista (the composer-in-residence with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra) to write him an original composition for theremin to perform on the show. Stay tuned for details !!!

Everyday With Practical Electronics Magazine (UK) has moved to a larger office, and they now have a [ web site ]. They currently have their new 'Elysian' Midi-compatible thermin in publication at this moment so be sure to check it out.

Paul Taub is looking for an original RCA Theremin in good playing condition, to replace one that had been in his family since the 1920's and was lost in a tragic accident. Email [ Paul Taub ] or phone him at (206)726-5032 if you can help.

Gary S. Hoffman, son of the notable thereminist Samuel Hoffman, is offering his father's historic theremin for sale. This is the same theremin seen and heard in the documentary "Theremin: An Odyssey", heard in countless 50's science fiction movies ("The Day the Earth Stood Still", "The Red House", "The Lost Weekend" etc), and the same one used to record on many popular albums, including the Lex Baxter series.

This theremin is one of the 200 theremins built in 1929, and is unique in that it has a full standing mahogony case instead of the familiar box on 4 legs. It stands 5' 4" and has been kept in immaculate condition.

This is an historic instrument with an illustrious past. Anyone having a genuine interest in the purchase of it should contact Mr. Hoffman at:
